tilt api docs are missing info for v1alpha1 types
Expected Behavior
these docs show the fields' types
Current Behavior
the fields are described in the docs for the types' constructors (for example) but not the types
Context
I opened the api docs and cmd+f'd uitextinput and found docs that looked like they were what I wanted, but were missing the info I needed, and assumed the info I needed was just missing. (I didn't realize we had separate ctor and type docs)
ya, i remember this, a bit of context on it:
- Officially, starlark doesn't support user-defined classes (i.e., the
classkeyword) - All new types must be built into the runtime.
- We model these new types as built-in
dicts. Notably, they're dicts with keys, not structs with fields. - We might be able to handle this in the docgen with the TypedDict stuff https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.TypedDict
- The starlark-native docgenerator really punts on this and kind of handles it in weird ways.
